About My Clients

I am passionate about creating brave spaces where my clients feel safe and empowered to enter into a new level of healing and self-awareness. My goal is to assist you in creating a life toolkit that consists of healthy skills, values, and beliefs that will sustain you, especially through trials and tribulations. Together, we will create a unique toolkit that will unlock the best version of yourself that I believe you were intended to live out.

My Background and Approach

My clinical interests include working with adolescents, young adults and adults that are experiencing challenging life transitions, alcohol and substance use, process addictions, trauma and trauma recovery, mental illness, disordered eating and eating disorders, relationship and sexual violence. I serve with compassion and empathy and I hold a judgment-free, culturally sensitive, and a trauma-informed space. My therapeutic approach is unique to the client because I do not believe that one size fits all. I am centered on motivational interviewing and I use the harm reduction approach which means that I am here to support you wherever you are in your journey of life. When it comes to creating your intervention plan, I work with you not for you. I believe that change starts with acknowledging your now and your hope for your next.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

You do not need to be whole to come to this therapeutic space. There is power and healing that occurs through supportive relationships.
